"Watching Airplanes" by Gary Allan (James Beavers/Jonathan Singleton)

1st Verse

Sittin' out here on the hood of this truck
Lookin' up at a caramel-colored sunset sky
Checkin' my watch, doin' the math in my head
Countin' back words to when you said, 'Good-bye'
Well, those runway lights are gettin' brighter

Chorus

(So) I'm just sittin' out here watchin' airplanes
Take off and fly
Tryin' to figure out which one you might be on
And why you don't love me anymore
(Right now I'm sittin' out here watchin' airplanes)

2nd Verse

I would'a lied
Could'a cried
Should'a tried harder
Done anything to make you stay
I wonder what you'd do
If you looked out your window
And saw me runnin' down the runway
Just like I was crazy

Pre Chorus

But that fence is too high
So am I

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

By now I know you're 30,000 feet above me
But a million miles away, a million miles away
By now I know I oughtta act like you don't love me

Tag Chorus

But I'm just sittin' out here watchin' airplanes
Take off and fly
And I'm just sittin' out here watchin' airplanes
Take off and fly
Tryin' to figure out which one you might be on
And why you don't love me anymore
Yeah, I'm just sittin' out here watchin' airplanes
Go by, by, by
I'm just sittin' out here watchin' airplanes
Baby, bye bye, bye, bye, bye
Yeah, I'm just sittin' out here watchin' airplanes
